✨ Technical Specifications
The Marienburg Fass 2127 Riesling Kabinett is a masterful expression of the steep, slate-laden slopes of Pünderich in the Middle Mosel. Named after the historic Marienburg convent that once looked down upon the river bend, the Marienburg vineyard is a mosaic of diverse slate soils. The 'Fass 2127' designation refers to the specific traditional large oak fuder cask in which this wine is fermented and aged. Clemens Busch utilizes biodynamic farming and spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts to capture the pure, mineral-driven essence of the site. This Kabinett style is celebrated for its exquisite tension, balancing a delicate, feather-light sweetness with a piercing, electric acidity that reflects the cool-climate viticulture of the region.
🍾 About the Producer
Weingut Clemens Busch is a benchmark biodynamic producer established within family lineage since 1802 and headquartered in a 1663 half-timbered riverside estate in Pünderich, at the threshold of the Terrassenmosel. Celebrated as early champions of ecological viticulture in Germany, Clemens and Rita Busch converted to organic methods in 1984 and later embraced biodynamics, now managing roughly 20 hectares alongside their son Johannes. Viticulture is dominated by ungrafted, steep-slope Riesling vines perched on the dramatic Pündericher Marienburg amphitheater. The estate meticulously isolates individual historical parcels—such as Fahrlay, Falkenlay, Felsterrasse, and Rothenpfad—categorized on capsules and labels by bedrock typology across blue, grey, and red Devonian slates. In the cellar, natural fermentations proceed spontaneously in traditional neutral wooden Fuder casks with prolonged fine lees contact. The resulting dry Grosses Gewächs and pristine Prädikat dessert bottlings deliver structural depth, saline minerality, and profound textural complexity.
